What are some rude things people have said to you while you were out and about with LO?

Let's hear them!

Mufflerlove · October 2013

Well I was excusing myself to go feed my LO and my step mom says "look at her, she doesn't need to be fed". She also calls her chub as a NN. FU lady! She's not my favourite person haha.

"Well he clearly never misses a meal!" I hate that.

I was out and had DS wrapped on my back. Some old lady looked at me with disgust and said, "Can it even breathe!?" I said very slowly, "...Yes...He's alive....". I thought DH was gonna die lol.

I was at a pet store to buy a present for my sister's dog's birthday party (yes, a little wierd, but they don't have kids yet. Lol) and some middle aged man comes over with his dog food and says to LO "Tell your mom to feed you so you don't have to eat your fingers." Thanks random pet store guy, but LO always sucks on his fingers whether he's hungry or not! I wasn't sure if he was kidding or really thought I was starving him.

Oh I have a good one:

I went to a Thai restaurant with DH, dd, and DS when he was like two months old. When I walked in, some bitch says as clear as day "oh my god, she has a toddler, a baby, AND she's pregnant again?! Wow. That's gross!" And rolled her eyes. I gave her my best death stare, basically letting her know she was LUCKY I was with my kids, otherwise she would've gotten an earful.

Another time dd had a blow out at Walmart, before I was pg with DS, so I had to change her in their bathroom. These two girls walked in, (I was in the big stall) and started saying "OMG is someone shitting? It smells so gross in here, like who shits at Walmart?!" Right as she said that I walked out and said "My child shit, can you be a bit more mature?"

I have no faith in humanity.

I haven't gotten much rude speak, just awkward. I did get a rude look once that was pretty ridiculous though. I was out with A and my mom, and we stopped in a cupcake shop around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. There were 5 tables lined up, and one end was a group of older women, the other was a man and woman having some kind of meeting, so I took the center table. I was wearing her, but when we sat down my mom asked to hold A. She was quiet/half awake, and I pulled her out of the wrap, and handed her off to my mom. She didn't make a peep, just chilled. The guy in the meeting turned over and gave such an utter look of disgust, that the woman he was with reamed him out and they left. Apparently silent babies in public places are too much for some people!

kari.sandall · October 2013

@kdc2007 I get the small comments too. Most of my rude comments have to do with the fact that they're twins. My favorite "Are they natural?" What does that even mean?

phishgirl29 · October 2013

I wrote this on Monday, but I wasn't/can't wear my wedding rings because they don't fit and a women at the grocery store asked me if "the father" was still in the picture. I was too shocked to really tell her how I felt and all I could do was say "yes, my husband is still in the picture!"

kari.sandall · October 2013

Also the "I have 2 under 2 so it's just like twins." Actually it's not but thanks for trying. I realize having 2 young kids has challenges but it's not the same as 2 infants sorry.

jlml2008 · October 2013

I was at a family birthday party for one of the kids on DH's side and his cousin turns to me and says "you look great! I can't believe you just had a baby 4 months ago" and before I could say anything H's aunt jumps in and says "she may look like that now but you should've seen her right after the baby was born. She was super chunky." I was at a complete loss for words. I had just had a freaking 9lb baby...of course I was chunky!

mamainVA2013 · October 2013

I get a lot of comments about how small she is and that I should feed her more. At first it really upset me, because it took 3 weeks for her to get back up to birth weight and we had some BFing issues in the beginning. Her pedi has assured me that I just have a small, but perfectly healthy baby, so I just ignore those comments.

On two separate occassions, random older ladies have tried to pick up DD. One came up to me at Starbucks and tried to pull DD out of her ring sling, and just this past weekend one tried to pick up DD out of her car seat in the grocery store. I totally went off on the ladies on both occasions. WTF is wrong with people?

I've gotten this comment while wearing my wedding ring! It's rude! I also get the, 'she is so small' comment. I hate it.

Achae · October 2013

I have had people tell me when she was around 1-2 months that she was too young to be out. I'm like, do you want a tip or no? Jeesh!

JANCANDANCE · October 2013

Do we speak Samoan? Dafuq!?! All the time we get asked our ethnicity. Eerks the f$&/k out of me. And once in the grocery store the check out lady told me all of the juices I had in my cart were not covered by WIC. Lmao!! Thanks for your concern lady but we don't receive WIC. (No offense to those that do. I think it is a very beneficial program) But it was just very presumptuous of her.

I need bail money.

CindyRelluh · October 2013

When dd was 8 months old, someone seriously asked me "Is that her natural hair color?"

Face palm.

MrsAuby · October 2013

I met another mom at the babysitters the other day and she said "Are you Riley's mom? She's such a pork chop! She's so thick around this area" as she waved her hand over her belly and thighs. I thought "pork chop" was cute, she should have shut her mouth after it.

Ryanswifey619 · October 2013

If I feed J, my ils will say something along the lines of chubby baby or call her Winston Churchill, it gets in my nerves.
If we go out, J always kicks her blanket off her feet, she hates her feet covered, we always get dirty looks from people about her feet uncovered

KellenHi21 · October 2013

I've gotten asked about ds's ethnicity more than a few times... People always look at me and then at him, get a confused look and then ask some sort of question about his race... Its more weird than anything, my first question when seeing a random baby wouldn't be about their race!? (I'm white, DH is Mexican - lol incase you were wondering lol)

I have also gotten a million strangers that think it's ok to come over and pet my baby's head! I get it, he has a lot of hair!

KittenGator · October 2013

These are both from five years ago with DD.

I look very young for my age. I'm 30 and people usually think I'm 18-21. When I was pregnant with DD and I was 25, I was talking with a woman working at Macy's. I had asked if she had a maternity section and they didn't so I asked for help finding longer shirts that I could wear in the awkward phase. She helped me find some and when I went to check out, she looked at my with half faux sympathy and half judgment and said that I had a long journey ahead of me being a teenaged single mom. I told her I was 25 and married.

Another time I was out with friends and DD was about three months old. A woman said "cute baby" and I said "thanks- I like her" to which she responded "I sure would HOPE SO. How old are you anyways?!" My friends were appalled and still talk about it.

I got a good amount of dirty looks and double-takes. I can't imagine the guff actual teenage moms have to endure!

GraceInCA · October 2013

I've gotten a ton of comments about wearing the baby in various wraps and the Ergo, and most of them are positive. This weekend a crazy old bat asked if I had gotten the wrap from black women in Africa, and she had the worst tone when she said it. I also had one woman tell me that I was spoiling the baby by wearing it. One of my relatives hates it, and implied that it made us look "poor". It was something along the lines of, "People are going to think you can't even afford a stroller for that baby."

tiffletons518 · October 2013

I was out grocery shopping with all 3 over the summer, and an older woman came up to me and said, "You have beautiful kids... and I know this may be out of line, but I have to ask. How old are you?" I just laughed. I told her, "I'm 29". She then says, "Well, if nothing else it's impressive that you and your husband still like each other that much. Most you damn kids these days think marriage is like dating and if you make it past a year it's a miracle. But, congratulations. They're all precious." I think I maybe could have been offended, but the whole thing just amused me more than anything.

Maelara · October 2013

My MIL and grandma keep telling us that we are spoiling our child. I don't know how to react so I just say 'can you really spoil a newborn?' Or 'you can't spoil a newborn, hahaha...' Or I just smile and make a surprised face.

KellenHi21 · October 2013

@kdc2007 lol of course you could!

People are out of line to do this in public, but if we were friends, I would beg to hold your gorgeous baby and stroke his hair. You seriously have the best looking baby boy.

ColieAnn31 · October 2013

I haven't gotten any rude comments since my LO had been born but when I was pregnant I got all sorts of dirty looks for older people because I look like I'm 16 even though I'm 23

mommakristydawn · October 2013

I have 5 kids an my oldest is 17 so we always get asked if I am the grandma. Talk about feeling like crap. I also get asked if all my kids have the same dad because I have spaced my kids out. Umm yeah they do and why the fluck do you care?? It is always people I never met. I think that is a weird thing to say to a stranger.

I have also been asked if my daughter is from my "new marriage". I just say "Yes, my new marriage to my husband of almost 20 years." That shuts them up.

AlsGal01 · October 2013

A woman at church walked up to us to see the baby and said "My gosh, he is just so fat!" It was the way she said fat with a look of disgust on her face. Yes, he's chubby but it's not disgusting.

kmkaull2 · October 2013

The size comments are so weird, aren't they? I think people forget what infants look like. A fellow preschool mom saw DD recently and said, "Wow, she is a HUGE baby!" I just looked at her and said, "She is 4 months old and 12 pounds and 23 inches, so not really."

I know I posted this on here before but the rudest thing was when a lady said I was going to make my DD gay for putting her in "boy" clothes (brown pants and camo onesie).

Wtf? What did you say to her? That's ignorant on all the levels!

tttwalters · October 2013

@adri823 walmart sells booze! Life would be easier in Canada if walmart sold booze.

tttwalters · October 2013

I am a size 8 right now and all my extra weight seems to be in my belly and I look like I could be maybe 3 months pregnant. I just got asked (for maybe the 3rd time) when I am due. Its frusturating because I am working hard at lossing the weight, but people are way to bold!
